 Holloway replaced Gary Megson at Leicester |
Leicester boss Ian Holloway has hit back at suggestions his job could be in danger after a series of poor results. Some newspapers claimed Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric was considering hiring his fifth manager in 12 months as the team slid closer to the drop zone.
But Holloway told BBC Sport: "Isn't it amazing? We lose a couple of games and everyone's got Milan swinging the axe.
"I suggest they come up with something cleverer than that - I've outlasted everyone else here this season so far!"
Leicester are currently 20th in the Championship table, two points off the drop zone, following three successive defeats - the latest at leaders Watford on Tuesday night.
As a result, The Times claimed Mandaric was understood to have "sounded out replacements" just 17 games after appointing Holloway, with The Sun suggesting Iain Dowie - sacked as Coventry boss this week - could be in the frame.
But Holloway insisted he was the man to turn around the fortunes of the Midlands club.

The former Plymouth boss said: "We've lost three games in 10 days, which after beating Crystal Palace was an unbelieveable shock.
"It's swings and roundabouts. We've scored three good goals in three games which have been disallowed, but that's life and it's all about trying to sort it out.
"Anybody can beat anyone in this division and we've just got to get out of the run we're on at the moment. I'm paid to win football matches and that's what we've got to do."
